They Like Me, They Really Like Me! (They, as in The New York Times)

Dec 13, 2012 | 13 Comments

I was completely blown away today when I opened the Style section of The New York Times to see my lovely book included with an assortment of other fabulous fashion reads!

New Dress A Day - NY Times Style

Hello there :)

I had my moment while sipping coffee…

New Dress A Day - DIY - The New York Times

Um, hello NY Times

…and then let out a little scream!

New Dress A Day - DIY - The New York Times

Yelp!!!

Since it’s a Times “holiday read” and there’s a little more time to still get those gift for friends, relatives, and even yourself, I’m doing a little gift with purchase.  Anyone who snags the book (and fills out the info/receipt upload HERE) will get a zip file emailed with all the tunes on my “Sewing Playlist” mentioned in the book.  You can literally listen to exactly what I listen to on the regular.

But wait, there’s more…

For each book purchased, your name will be entered into a lovely little raffle to win an assortment of crafty goodies, all curated by yours truly!

New Dress A Day - DIY - Raffle Goodies

It’s like the NDAD Powerball!!

A little bit of RIT Dye, a bottle of Mod Podge, Martha Stewart paint, Aleene’s Fabric Fusion, some Darice floral appliqués, a tape measure, an assortment of needles, a lovely little travel kit, a mix of ribbon to use in crafting, as well as a few other items that will be added to this pile as the holidays get closer.

All eligible receipts must be dated and fall between Black Friday (11/23/12) up until December 31st, 2012.  A winner will be picked on 1/1/13!!

    Isn’t it exciting when you see yourself in the paper? It’s exciting to me and I am not…. you!

  • Cindy G.

    How awesome is that? I would have bounced up and down and shown it to random passers by!

    I got your book when it came out (Amazon pre-order, baby!), and if I hadn’t already finished the Christmas shopping (and run out of $$ in the process) for all of my gals, I’d be buying another copy as a gift and keeping the songs for myself :)

    May the new year bring you many more surprises!

    Oh my gosh Marisa, that had to have been such a cool moment. I hope that you stopped people as they walked by and showed it to them. :) I would have and I’m a shy person.

    Congrats on all your well deserved success.
